The drama âCrossing the Demon Realmâ was registered for fifty-five episodes, a moderately lengthy series.
Feng San, having followed Si Fuqingâs forum, was well aware of her fansâ daily fervor in pursuing her.
Most importantly, this was a drama with a dominant female lead and no male lead. Thus, during promotions, there wouldnât be any need to publicize any romantic pairings.
âAlright, letâs go,â Yu Xiheng said, closing his book. âFirst, weâll meet someone, and after that, Iâll take you back to Southern State.â
âHmm?â Si Fuqing asked curiously, biting into a meat bun, âWho?â
Yu Xiheng simply stated, âYour money.â Si Fuqing paused, taken aback.
Canât he say this more elegantly?
Is he implying that she is only interested in money?
Well, admittedly, she is.
Meanwhile, Little Bai was rolling gleefully on the ground.
Its meal was about to arrive!
âMiss Si, your dog is really lively,â Feng San remarked, attempting to pet Little
Bai, only to be deterred by its bared teeth and fierce expression. âWhat breed is
âOh, itâs a mix of several animals,â Si Fuqing replied nonchalantly, stroking Little Baiâs fluffy head. âItâs still young. Once it grows up, itâll grow horns on its head and wings on its back. Then, I wonât need to walk anymore.â Little Bai puffed out its chest proudly, swaying in its little dress.
Indeed, it was a majestic and unique Pixiu!
Feng San was speechless.
He had always been skeptical of Miss Siâs outrageous claims.
But ever since the emergence of evolved beings and Masters of Yin-yang, he thought it best to believe a bit.
He tried to imagine a dog with wings and horns.
What kind of animal would that be?!
An hour later, the plane landed in front of a large building.
Si Fuqing looked down and saw the Rosalind Moon logo.
The RM Great Xia regional headquarters.
After disembarking, Si Fuqing, pushing Yu Xiheng, approached the large terrace,
Where a blond, blue-eyed middle-aged man stood.
Upon seeing Yu Xiheng, he hurried over respectfully, greeting, âMr. Yu.â
âMiss Si, this is the director of RMâs Great Xia region,â Feng San introduced.
âThis is Miss Si.â
âMiss Si!â The directorâs eyes lit up. âYour beauty is truly beyond comparison, like a goddess descending among mortals.â
âThank you,â Si Fuqing replied, genuinely impressed. âYou speak Mandarin very well. â
âOf course,â the director beamed, his enthusiasm evident. âThe culture of Great Xia is so rich and diverse, spanning over five thousand years! And the cuisine! The recipes are thicker than our countryâs history books. Miss Si, do you like hot pot? I am a hugeââ
Yu Xiheng gave him a look.
The director immediately fell silent.
Wiping his sweat, he swiftly changed the topic, âMiss Si, Mr. Yu has informed us of his intention to have you as RMâs global spokesperson, covering both the apparel and cosmetics lines. There are also several fashion shows coming up that require your participation. Are you available?â
RMâs influence was substantial internationally, rivalling that of Lan in the fashion world.
But unlike Lan, RM was unmatched in cosmetics.
âFashion shows?â Si Fuqing hummed thoughtfully. âWhen will it be?â
âItâs currently being scheduled with Glenn,â the director explained. âIf all goes well, it should be in October.â
Glennâs annual fashion shows were coveted events, with international models vying for a spot.
âAlright,â Si Fuqing nodded. âIâll be there.â
âExcellent!â The director nodded eagerly. âIâll keep in touch with you regarding any updates.â n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
That evening, Si Fuqing returned to the program team.
Without her, the live broadcast had ended at six.
Ning Luoyao, who hadnât even had time to eat her roasted chicken, hurried over and whispered, âQingqing, did you get selected for the audition?â
âYes,â Si Fuqing confirmed. âThe director has asked for confidentiality. Youâll find out when filming starts.â
âNo problem!â Ning Luoyao sighed dejectedly. âIf only I wasnât fully booked this year, Iâd love to act in a xianxia drama with you.â
âThere will be other opportunities,â Si Fuqing responded lazily. âItâs not like this is the only project Iâm doing.â
âYouâre right,â Ning Luoyao cheered up. âLetâs go together when Director Qu is casting. â
Si Fuqing raised an eyebrow, leisurely agreeing, âSure.â
Qi Shuning couldnât help but laugh, his eyes filled with mocking amusement.
A film by Qu Lingyun, as ifanyone couldjust decide to participate!
Utterly absurd.
Xu Jiannian, of course, noticed Si Fuqingâs return, but his agent had arrived.
Xu Jiannian glanced at Si Fuqing, then lowered the tentâs curtain, asking, âHas there been any response from RM?â
âNo, they replied a while back, saying they were considering,â the manager frowned. âBut they havenât contacted me recently, Iâll check now.â He dialed the number he had obtained.
After a few rings, the call was answered, and the agent voiced his query.
The manager politely responded, âSorry, sir. The reason we havenât contacted you is that our spokesperson has already been decided.â
âDecided?â The agent was startled. âBut last month you mentioned it wasnât finalized, and that you were considering liaising with us.â
As a top star, Xu Jiannian had numerous endorsements, including one for an international luxury brand.
Many stars were vying for RMâs cosmetics line. Could it have been taken by a top female star?
But nowadays, to boost sales, cosmetics brands often chose male stars to attract female fans.
âWe only said we were in talks, â the manager clarified.
âWhat about the brand ambassador then?â The agent pressed on, not willing to give up. âThere should still be openings, right?â
âThere are,â the manager hesitated, his voice fading into whispers in a foreign language, clearly discussing something with someone else.
After a while, he spoke again, âBut we need to consult our spokesperson first.â
âConsult the spokesperson?â The agent was astounded. âWho has such influence?â
Brand ambassadors, although a step below spokespersons, were still carefully selected by the company.
It was unheard of for a spokesperson to make decisions for the company. âYes, this person is our global spokesperson for all lines,â the manager explained. âPlease hold.â
The call ended.
The manager was incredulous, âIs RM playing games with us?â
Xu Jiannian overheard and his expression shifted subtly, âA global spokesperson for all lines?â
A global spokesperson was intimidating enough, but to cover all lines?
RM had cosmetics, ready-to-wear, accessories, and bags.
Ready-to-wear was the most prestigious, cosmetics the least.
Their discussion with RM was only about the cosmetics line in the Great Xia region.
The difference was stark.
âIt must be intentional,â the manager said grimly. âIâve never heard of a brand ambassador needing approval from a spokesperson.â
âPerhaps,â Xu Jiannian shook his head, âI need to step out.â He lifted the curtain, and at that moment, Si Fuqingâs phone rang.
She glanced at it and answered, âHello?â
